Tell Us About Your Avatar

Due to anonymity reasons, we can't have our face as our profile pic. I was wondering tonight about all the different pics I have seen on this Forum and the story behind them.

Some of you like me have animals. Maybe they are your pets. Others have inspirational sayings. There are ones with scenes on them and others that feature flowers or abstract designs.

My pic stems from my fascination with jellyfish. I love going to those huge aquarium places and watching the jellyfish. They are so serene and beautiful and make me feel calm. If I lived in a town that had a jellyfish display, I'd be there every week. Sometimes I watch videos of them. I use the good feelings I get from seeing them to lift my mood so each time I am on the Forum I am reminded of the beauty in the world and the peacefulness of their movements.

I hope you enjoy my pic half as much as I do.

I'll tag some people to encourage them to share their story. Please tag others so we can all participate easily.

@soul - I thought your picture was some kind of space thing! I think it's really cool that you have a thing for jellyfish ☺ . We recently took a trip to see some underwater creatures and my littlest was so intrigued by them. They stood for AGES in awe. There is something mesmerising about them.

@Maggie - the lotus flower is a pretty special one 💗

Aw thanks @soul 😊

Now I know what your picture is, I'll remember that time we were almost hypnotised by them! They really are amazing. There's so much meaning in your avatar (which I sort of figured there would be, I just couldn't quite work out what it was).

My avatar represents the way i feel on the inside. The outside looks fine however on the inside this rhe true feeling.
I would like to change it but i dont really know what to change it to.
I like hearing about everyones avatar choices and why. Hopefully something new will come to mind soon and will be inspired to chance it

@Former-Member i think your avatar suits you. you go around sprinkling some of your fairy dust helping ease others troubles ❤
@utopia i dont think i could see you with another avatar. Your our cocky friend ❤

@Maggie i love your new avatar its so pretty ❤

Good Morning @soul

My Avatar was a gift from my beautiful cyber grandgirl Claire @outlander {Good morning Claire I'm enjoying all your party cakes and chocolates for breakfast 😄 . . . Take it easy today! nag, nag, nag :D} She drew it herself! Such a beautiful gift! Quite different to the ugly inchworm that I had, it represented the fact that despite some unsightly skin and scars I keep on inching forward 🙂

What a marvellous idea for a thread 😄

Re: Tell Us About Your Avatar

@outlander I'm hearing you and hope that you can make this change. Seeing that pic could serve to reinforce that feeling. Sometimes we just get stuck.

Please try to look around you or remember something that brought you joy. Even surf the net, perhaps look for an inspirational quote. Little changes lead to big ones.

Think about how you would like to feel and strive towards that.
